Whois & Analysis for factrepublic.com

A fact is something that has occurred or is correct.

The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability—that is, whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience.

Standard reference works are often used to check facts.

Scientific facts are verified by repeatable careful observation or measurement (by experiments or other means).

Randomness is the lack of pattern or predictability in events.

A random sequence of events, symbols or steps has no and does not follow an intelligible pattern or combination.

Individual random events are by definition unpredictable, but in many cases the frequency of different outcomes over a large number of events (or "trials") is predictable.

For example, when throwing two dice, the outcome of any particular roll is unpredictable, but a sum of 7 will occur twice as often as 4.

In this view, randomness is a measure of uncertainty of an outcome, rather than haphazardness, and applies to concepts of chance, probability, and information entropy.

A genius is a person who displays exceptional intellectual ability, creative productivity, universality in genres or originality, typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of new advances in a domain of knowledge.

Despite the presence of scholars in many subjects throughout history, many geniuses have shown high achievements in only a single kind of activity.

There is no scientifically precise definition of genius, and the question of whether the notion itself has any real meaning has long been a subject of debate, although psychologists are converging on a definition that emphasizes creativity and eminent achievement.

Usually genius is associated with talent, but many authors (for example Cesare Lombroso) systematically distinguish these terms.

A narrative or story is any report of connected events, real or imaginary, presented in a sequence of written or spoken words, or still or moving images, or both.
